The Darlings are dedicated to staying true to the roots of Rock 'n’ Roll, Country and Americana. Founded in 2005 The Darlings have already hit the stage with such legendary acts as Pennywise, Social Distortion, Bad Religion, Youth Brigade, TSOL, Jason Cruz and Howl, Strung Out, Face to Face, Sum 41, and the Circle Jerks to just name a few.

The greatest drive for the band is creating an Organic, Soulful, Hard Rock sound without relying on auto tune/ pro tools alterations. The New Escape is their full length debut, which has gotten a lot of attention in their native land of Los Angeles. The hit song "Broken Heart Still Beating" was #1 for many weeks on the world wide known radio station KROQ, Locals Only. This seasoned rock outfit won the 2010 Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands.
